“The Aligned Assurance Model: Transforming Oversight into Insight”
View On-Demand | Presentation Slides
In many organizations, assurance activities occur across the “Three Lines of Defense”—management, risk and compliance functions, and internal audit—but are often planned and executed independently. When the lines are not aligned, organizations encounter duplicated effort, inconsistent conclusions, and fragmented insight for leadership.
The Aligned Assurance Model encourages deliberate collaboration across the three lines to create a coordinated view of assurance coverage, improve efficiency, and strengthen governance by providing management and the board with clearer, more consistent insight.
During this session, PYA Senior Manager Andrew Sizemore explored the Aligned Assurance Model and shared actionable steps organizations can take to implement aligned assurance in practice.
Andrew addressed the following learning objectives:
- Understand the purpose of the Aligned Assurance Model across the Three Lines of Defense
- Recognize common challenges caused by uncoordinated assurance activities
- Explain how aligned assurance strengthens governance and oversight for leadership
- Identify opportunities to improve collaboration and information sharing across the three lines
- Apply aligned assurance concepts to enhance the efficiency, consistency, and value of assurance activities
If you would like additional guidance on audit and assurance, tax planning, business valuation, cybersecurity, or any matter related to strategy or operations, our leaders are happy to help.
